Join us at 11:00 AM as we explore:

The Extravagant Price: Redemption isn't like using a coupon; it’s a legal and spiritual reality where Jesus entered the "jail" of our sin to pay a debt we could never afford.

From Junk to Glory: We’re talking about how God takes what the enemy has "kidnapped" or labeled as "glorified junk" and restores it to its original, beautiful purpose.

A Supernatural Exchange: The Cross is the moment Jesus bought us back from the power of Satan and sin, making us fully wanted and justified by His grace.

Have you ever felt like life isn't going the way you planned? Whether it's a career that didn't take off, struggles in marriage, or the weight of parenting, disappointment is a universal part of the human experience. These moments of disappointment can either turn us away from God or draw us closer to Him.

We must choose which crown we give to Christ. The Crown of Thorns that says we are disappointed and want more control of our lives or a real crown that says Jesus is Lord of our life.

We’ve all been there—that moment where the weight of our own mistakes feels too heavy to carry. If you’ve ever felt like a disappointment, felt broken, or wondered if you’ve "cheapened" the grace you’ve been given, this message is for you.

Today, we are diving into the heart of the Holy Week story to look at a moment we can all wrap our heads around: the failure and restoration of Peter. In the very moment Jesus was on trial for His life, Peter—the "Rock" of the church—denied even knowing Him.

But the story doesn't end with a rooster crowing in the dark. It ends with breakfast on a beach and a Savior who doesn't write us off. We’ll explore the "blueprint for divine restoration" and how Jesus:

Acknowledges the problem without shaming the person.

Invites us to come near even when it feels scary.

Renews our purpose and makes broken things beautiful again.

Jesus isn't asking for a perfect track record; He’s simply asking one question: "Do you love me?"

Join Us Live!

Come experience this journey from brokenness to beauty. We can’t wait to see you!

What if I told you that the "revolution" everyone was looking for in the streets of Jerusalem actually started at a dinner table?

Often, we think of Communion as a quiet, somber ritual. But in the first century, it was a radical act of defiance and a declaration of freedom. It’s more than just a "memorial service"—it is an invitation to participate in the same power that broke the chains of slavery in Egypt.

Why it Matters:

It’s our Passover: Just as the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites, Jesus became the sacrificial lamb whose blood covers us, setting us free from the "slavery" of our past and our sin.

It’s our Manna: Like the bread that fell from heaven in the desert, Jesus is the "Bread of Life" who sustains us on our journey today.

It’s a Heart Check: It’s a moment to "search our house" for imperfections—not to earn salvation, but to respond to the amazing gift we’ve already been given.

Whether you call it the Lord’s Supper, Eucharist, or Mass, it all comes back to one thing: Jesus making things right so we can have a relationship with God forever.

Today, don't just "take" communion. Join the revolution. 🍷🥖

💬 Let’s Discuss:

Which image of Communion resonates with you most: the Sacrificial Lamb providing protection, or the Manna providing daily strength? Let us know in the comments!

Just as we might meal-plan to avoid stress during a busy work week, we can "pre-decide" our spiritual priorities. When we decide ahead of time that Jesus is the center, the rest of our life—our money, our relationships, and our careers—begins to find its right order.

This season, instead of overthinking the eggs, the candy, or the ham, what if we focused on the only thing that truly provides rest? Let’s pre-decide to make Jesus the operating center of our lives and watch the chaos settle into peace.

 Is your marriage feeling a little lonely? Marriage was designed to be the solution to loneliness, but sometimes it can feel like the loneliest place of all. This Sunday at 11:00 AM, Pastor Jarad is diving into the "Best Practices" for marriage—moving from just "getting by" to a lifestyle of mutual blessing and peace.

Whether your relationship feels like it needs a quick oil change or a full engine replacement, there is hope and a place for you here.

Did you know the word "cleave" is one of the most interesting words in the Bible? It means to bond or intertwine—like the ligaments and tendons in a joint. But a cleaver? That’s designed to separate and dissect.

We’re breaking down the three "cleavers" that often sneak in and try to separate what God joined together:

The "Me" Cleaver: Putting your own hobbies, work, or friends before your spouse.

The "Kids" Cleaver: Making the kids the center of the universe while your marriage takes a back seat.

The "Parents" Cleaver: Letting in-laws (or your own parents) undermine the bond with your spouse.

💡 Why You Should Watch

Whether you’re in a season of "Crown Molding stress" (if you know, you know!) or you're just looking to build a God-honoring marriage, this message is for you.

Highlights include:

Why "Second Place" is actually the best place to be in a marriage.

How to set healthy boundaries (yes, even if your 14-year-old is still trying to sleep in your bed).

The real reason why your spouse might remind you of your father-in-law.

What does it actually look like to put others first? In a world that tells us to look out for "Number One," Jesus shows us a completely different way to live.

Today, as we continue our series "For Better Or Worse," we’re looking at the power of humility through the lens of Philippians 2:3-8. It’s a challenge to trade "selfish ambition" for the heart of a servant—the same mindset Christ showed when He humbled Himself for us.

Let’s gather together to learn, grow, and discover how a humble heart can change everything in our relationships.
